Can the JDBC OCI Driver be used with Java applets?
No, the JDBC OCI Driver is not designed for use with Java applets but designed for client-server Java applications and Java-based middle tiers. The Thin JDBC Driver is targeted for Java applet developers. The JDBC OCI driver transforms calls from Java to C [since the driver must use a layer of C in order to make calls to the OCI], the driver is written in a combination of Java and C which precludes it from being downloadable. Further, JDBC OCI driver also requires installation of the OCI libraries, SQL*Net, CORE libraries and other required support files on the machine on which the JDBC driver is installed i.e. on each of the client machines or the middle-tier Java application server.
